DANCE TO FRANCE
- 31 January 2014 12:17259454Remember those good old days when folks would head for the ferries at the weekend to take part in the 'Dance to France' craze during the seventies and eighties on the 'Lion and 'Tiger' and latterly until 2006 on the Sealink boats.? Those starry evenings crossing the pond dancing to the sounds of the bands and discotheques belting out the latest pops while the ferries plied their way between the twinkling lights of the British and French coasts?
Well those days are coming back! The Lifeboat supporters and the Dover Steamship group have got together to re-instigate the popular event with a charity discotheque on board P&O's latest superferry, MV 'Spirit of Britain'.
Saturday the 29th. of March is the date and the departure is on the 1835 sailing to Calais returning into Dover by 2215.
All the on board facilities, the food court, Langan's Brasserie, and of course the low tax shops will also be open to the revellers who will probably be able to recoup the cost of their tickets from their purchases.
The discotheque will be situated in the forward bar area and will only be open to ticket holders. "We've combined the non-landing car park shopper deal with the disco," said Dave Carey, local fundraiser for the RNLI, "So our ticket holders will benefit from the on-board entertainment as well as the massive savings available in the Spirit of Britain's shops."
Tickets costing £12.50p per passenger are available by calling 01227 732414 or 01304 210572 and are based on a car and two passengers or a car and four passengers. "Book early," Dave advised, "Our numbers are strictly limited owing to the size of the lounge on board." - 1 February 2014 11:33259542Advance tickets still on sale.
